A Tent Was Prepared

BlogOctober 28, 2019514Views0Likes0Comments
I’m not a big, outdoorsy, guy. So, camping out was never something I really enjoyed, except for this one time. Me and my best friend, Mark, had a great “fort” in the woods near our apartment complex in Orlando when I was about 11 or 12. Being central Florida, the pine trees in these woods…

Simple, But Not Easy

BlogOctober 25, 2019407Views0Likes1Comment
Life is simple. It is. Life is not complicated. Life is not hard to figure out. I know, amazing statements given the complexities of our daily lives, but it is true.

Salty Speech

“Salt makes people thirsty. People are thirsting for more of God’s word. We are the salt, the salt of the earth!” I remember hearing that song as a teenager and thinking “so THAT’S what that means!” Jesus did call we Christians the “salt of the earth” and in His days on earth, salt wasn’t just something…

ALL MINE!

BlogOctober 17, 2019522Views0Likes0Comments
“MINE!” The toddler was adamant that that toy belonged ONLY to her! She had no intention of allowing anyone else to play with her toy! Now that’s a familiar situation of any parent of small children or any teacher in kindergarten! But that’s also sometimes the unspoken attitude of too many of us when it comes…
